All 4 of us had been supermarket shopping. I got into the car with the DCs whilst DP put the trolley away. DS started arguing with me about what had been the most expensive thing we'd bought. He was wrong because the thing he though was actually on a 241 deal. I was getting really agitated about him arguing with me.
When DP got back to the car he shushed us, not just DS but me aswell! I was insensed! I had a go at him for treating me like a child. IMO he should have stuck up for me and told DS to stop arguing with his mother not just treated me like DS. How are the DCs ever going to respect me if DP treats me like a child in front of them?
The car was silent on the way home and now DP is out at work.
I know it's not a huge deal but it's made me think of other aspects of our relationship. I think he's so used to being the boss at work sometimes he doesn't shake off that persona at home. He's only 2 1/2 years older than me but sometimes it feels like 25. I feel like I'm only a shadow of my former self. He mocks my tastes (music, films, decor) and I've basically had low-level depression ever since he moved in (but there have been a lot of other contributory factors in this).
Of course, everyone else thinks he's perfect...
